Today is Ramana Maharshi Jayanti - Many talks about Oneness (Aham brahmasmi and Tattvamasi), but here is the one who lived that way.
He is a Jivanmukta (Salvation is not the one, you attain after leaving this body; it is the one you have to achieve while still living).

Today is Swami Vivekananda Jayanti (12 January) - National Youth Day.
He just lived for 39 years (12 January 1863 - 4 July 1902). He met his guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa at the age of 20.
His age was just 30 when he delivered the famous Chicago speech.
but with his profound understandable speeches, he attracted thousands in America and London. He founded Vedanta Society there.
Though he was offered the most luxurious rooms to stay, he lay down and cried for his country people, as most Indians were in poverty.
The Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple is located on the banks of River Penna in Tadipatri town, Andhra Pradesh. Ramalinga Nayudu constructed it in 15 Century during the Vijayanagara empire. The shivaling is Swayambh (Self-manifested)
It is believed that the 7 small independent pillars in the temple when touched produce 'Saptaswara' (the7 musical notes). James Fergusson, an architectural historian author of the famous book 'History of Indian and Eastern Architecture' said the temple Gopurams as "wonders".
In 1950, April 14, at around 8.47 p.m, he left his body, while everyone is watching, a bright light (Jyothi) left his body, travelled towards the hill and submerged into the Arunachalam hill (it's not a hill, its Lord Shiva himself).
